I'm pleased with my program. While archiving a set of files to a network share, I find my program is sometimes informed by Windows that the share has become disconnected when, in reality, it has not. Today a backup attempt terminated early in error when I initiated in parallel deletion of a 100 gigabyte file on the share that was simultanously being written to. Apparently the time consuming deletion operation caused a stall on the file writing operation and that was decided by Windows to be a timeout/disconnection of the share. This is hardly the behavior that I expect from Windows. I used try/catch to prevent an egregious mystery, but the report from Windows fails to accurately describe the "error" for what it is: an expected delay on the write caused by external factors. Delay is not necessarily pathognomonic of disconnection.]]>http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/TechOff/Delay-Caused-by-Delete-Operation-Produces-on-a-Write-Operation-The-Network-File-System-Misbehaves/8238e01f9ac6486e91159e42013a5f10#8238e01f9ac6486e91159e42013a5f10
